Father of mercies, in thy word

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 757 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies, in thy word What endless glory shines! For ever be Thy Name ador'd For these celestial lines. 2 Here, may the wretched sons of want Exhaustless riches find; Riches, above what earth can grant, And lasting as the mind. 3 Here the fair tree of knowledge grows And yields a free repast, Sublimer sweets that nature knows Invite the longing taste. 4 Here, the Redeemer's welcome voice Spreads heavenly peace around; And life, and everlasting joys Attend the blissful sound. 5 O may these heavenly pages be My ever dear delight; And still new beauties may I see, And still increasing light! 6 Divine instructor, gracious Lord, Be Thou for ever near; Teach me to love thy sacred word, And view my Saviour there.

From all that's mortal, all that's vain

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 101 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From all that's mortal, all that's vain, And from this earthly clod: Arise my soul and strive to gain, Sweet fellowship with God. 2 Say, what is there beneath the skies, In all the paths thou'st trod; Can suit thy wishes or thy joys, Like fellowship with God. 3 Not life, nor all the toys of art, Nor pleasure's flow'ry road; Can to my soul such bliss impart, As fellowship with God. 4 Not health, nor friendship here below, Nor wealth that golden load; Can such delight or comfort show, As fellowship with God. 5 When I am made in love to bear, Affliction's needful rod; Light, sweet and kind the strokes appear, Through fellowship with God. 6 In fierce temptation's fiery blast, Or dark desertion's road; I'm happy if I can but taste, Some fellowship with God. 7 So when the icy hand of death, Shall chill my flowing blood; With joy I'll yield my latest breath, In fellowship with God. 8 When I at last to heaven ascend, And gain my blest abode; There an eternity I'll spend, In fellowship with God.

Hark! the voice of love and mercy

Meter: Irregular Appears in 549 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! the voice of love and mercy Sounds aloud from Calvary! See! it rends the rocks asunder, Shakes the earth, and veils the sky! "It is finish'd!" Hear the dying Saviour cry! 2 "It is finish'd!" O what pleasure Do these charming words afford! Heavenly blessings without measure, Flow to us from Christ the Lord. It is finish'd! Saints, the dying words record. 3 Finish'd, all the types and shadows Of the ceremonial law! Finish'd, all that God had promis'd; Death and hell no more shall awe. It is finish'd! Saints, from hence your comfort draw. 4 [Happy souls, approach the table, Taste the soul-reviving food; Nothing half so sweet and pleasant As the Saviour's flesh and blood, It is finish'd! Christ has borne the heavy load.] 5 Tune your harps anew, ye seraphs, Join to sing the pleasing theme; All on earth, and all in heaven, Join to praise Immanuel's name! Hallelujah! Glory to the bleeding Lamb!

Heal us, Immanuel, here we are

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 75 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Heal us, Immanuel, here we are, Waiting to feel thy touch; Deep wounded souls to thee repair, And, Saviour, we are such. 2 Our faith is feeble, we confess, We faintly trust thy word, But wilt thou pity us the less? Far be that from the Lord! 3 Remember him who once applied With trembling for relief: "Lord, I believe," with tears he cried, "O help my unbelief." 4 She too, who touch'd thee in the press, And healing virtue stole, Was answered, "Daughter, go in peace, "Thy faith hath made thee whole." 5 Conceal'd amidst the gather'd throng, She would have shunn'd thy view; And if her faith was firm and strong, Had strong misgivings too. 6 Like her, with hopes and fears we come, To touch thee if we may; Oh! send us not despairing home, Send none unheal'd away. Scripture: Exodus 15

Honor and happiness unite

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 33 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Honor and happiness unite To make the christian's name a praise: How fair the scene, how clear the light, That fills the remnant of his days! 2 A kingly character he bears, No change his priestly office knows; Unfading is the crown he wears, His joys can never reach a close. 3 Adorn'd with glory from on high, Salvation shines upon his face; His robe is of the etherial dye, His steps are dignity and grace. 4 Inferior honors he disdains, Nor stoops to take applause from earth; The King of kings himself maintains Th' expences of his heavenly birth. 5 The noblest creatures seen below, Ordain'd to fill a throne above; God gives him all he can bestow, His kingdom of eternal love! 6 My soul is ravish'd at the thought, Methinks from earth I see him rise; Angels congratulate his lot, And shout him welcome to the skies.
